Is part of the F related musically to a film I wonder?

EDIT: Ignore that, cross posted with Tapiola!

EDIT 2: Just seen the price of that Shosta as recommended by you!! I have a boxed sets of all those symps by Kondrashin on Melodiya, and another set which is on the Aulos label which is the remastered analog to DSD of Melodiya which is absolutely fantastic.

[Tapiola]

Anna, the F is the name of a film, though this has nothing to do with the puzzle as I set it (your question prompted me to look further and discover that there is a film with the same name).

[Tapiola]

We are looking for a single word F, which is the title of compositions by both Antonio and Hans, whilst the third element relates, in an interrogative way, to a composition by Milhaud, the title of which is made reference to in a famous pop song, as is the F word itself...

[mercia]

is the Milhaud work as obvious as La Creation du Monde?

Yes! The price is ridiculous. I also have the Melodiya box (though not the Aulos). Absolutely fantastic is dead right! There is a horrible digital click at the end of the 4th Symphony - just where one would not want it - but this is editable using a programme such as Audacity and then reburned.

Ce n'est pas de Creation.

It's not an obscure work though.

The Aulos remastered is well worth the money for various little clicks being removed and, quite honestly, the quality blows you away! I see it's not available on Amazon. I got mine direct from Russia when it was first issued for £50.00 (10 cds)

[mercia]

oh I'm thinking Queen, Scaramouche, Fandango?

[vinteuil]

Fandango!

Anna, is this a new Aulos remastering (i.e. post-Melodiya's softbox set?), or the one in the dark green box from quite a few years back?

Oh this is difficult. Both postings of Fandango at 16.22 (I see the proper time has been reinstated on here). Do we need a steward's enquiry on this one?

Would either of you care to elaborate?

[mercia]

I defer to vinteuil

[Tapiola]

Ahh, you are right mercia. Most strange.

Tapiola, I've looked at the cds and the booklet and no date is mentioned but it is in the dark green box that you need a degree in astro-physics to open!!

[vinteuil]

... to vinteuil

are you sure, Mercia? cos I think you beat me by a few seconds...

But I have an easy G ready if you like...
